Older DD's do sound a bit soft, definitely less crispy and bright than, say, a later DD33. That is fine on the DD, but the DDIII with Dolby, at...
I am a bit biased towards silver walkman, but I found the first DD to be one of the most elegant: simple, slick, retro (by today's standard) and...
Thanks for the replies; in the early '90s I wasn't much into taping as I was in full swing with digital and CD's. That is mostly to blame on the...
Out of the three walkman’s I had in my youth, I still have only one, the other two, a Sony WM-3 and a late Panasonic RQ, were sold for cheap to...
The DC-2 is a DD on steroids: refined mechanics, refined electronics, Dolby C and, most important, an high quality amorphous head with a wide...
If you can find one at that price I would buy it immediately; today's prices are definitely out of control, but even 2~3 years ago a DC-2 in good...

Hello Renato, I'm actually quite happy with the DDIII, it is a very gorgeous looking walkman, much nicer than the DD33. Yesterday I fine tuned...
My second pair of bose in-ear headphones has left me due to, again, the cable falling a part. Needless to say I'm not buying a third pair of Bose,...
Azimuth is correct, I adjusted it with a reference tape; actually I checked the service manual of some DD walkman's and DDIII, DD30 and DD33 have...
I recently acquired a boxed DDIII which should be the basis on which the DC2 has been built. But actually it is a bit disappointing in terms of...
Actually the capstan-less approach works regardless of tape length and thickness provided the take-up reel rpm is standardised. The tape speed...
Thanks Marian, now I have a clearer picture of what you are trying to build, but I think a countersunk screw will always bend the lower and...
